OK, now that we had the annual blow off of steam about the rules, anyone
have any "secrets" they wish to share about VHF CONTESTING??

I'll start.

I operate in the low power category. I have two 6M antennas that are
connected to an A/B/Both switch. When calling CQ, I usually use both so as
to illuminate more azimuth; which is important for a CONTEST. Then I'll
switch the switch to hear and  favor a weak answer. But if conditions are
highly favoring one direction, say, SW, I will put all the power that way
during CQing for a while.
